    Depression makes your brain smaller – study

    Persistent depression shrinks the human brain’s center responsible for emotions and memory that might lead to changes in a person’s behavior and even losing their identity, a global interdisciplinary study has revealed. A new global study has finally proven that brain damage is a consequence of repeated depression instead of being its prerequisite or a predisposing factor. This conclusion draws the final line under the decades of unconfirmed hypothesizing.

    Some shrinkage of the brain has long been connected to depression, although without clear evidence, as variances in types of depression, treatment methods as well as a small sample size have led to inconsistent results.

    Now, the largest international survey, which brought together the efforts of 15 research institutes from the US, UK and Australia and allowed scientists to combine the results of their smaller studies, revealed that recurrent depression shrinks the hippocampus – the so-called emotional center of the brain, which is a part of the brain’s limbic system.

    “This study confirms – in a very large sample – a finding that’s been reported on quite a few occasions – the fact that the hippocampus is particularly vulnerable to depression,” said Philip Mitchell, scientia professor & head of the School of Psychiatry at University of South New Wales, Australia, who took part in the research.

    Apart from forming emotions, the hippocampus is also responsible for forming new memories and connecting emotions to those memories as well as is involved in long-term memory processes. While the hippocampus plays such an important role in the brain’s functioning, its damage could engender serious consequences.

    “Your whole sense of self depends on continuously understanding who you are in the world – your state of memory is not about just knowing how to do Sudoku or remembering your password – it’s the whole concept we hold of ourselves,” said professor Ian Hickie, from the University of Sydney’s brain and mind research institute, who led the Australian arm of the study.

    “When you shrink the hippocampus, you don’t just change memory, you change all sorts of other behaviors associated with that – so shrinkage is associated with a loss of function,” he adds. The cooperation of 15 research institutes allowed the scientists to conduct a cross-sectional analysis of 9,000 people’s brain scans.

    The research team used magnetic resonance imaged (MRI) brain scans and clinical data from 1,728 people with major depression and 7,199 healthy individuals, combining 15 datasets from Europe, the US and Australia, as well as samples obtained from an international consortium studying psychiatric disorders, the ENIGMA group.

    The results of the study were published in Molecular Psychiatry on June 30. The scientists found that people who had a smaller hippocampus suffered from recurrent episodes of depression or got depressed at an early age (before the age of 21). Such people accounted for 65 percent of the depressed study participants.
